Raise…………
O forsaken and dejected but libertine souls!
Tho`r beaten badly afore,
And blessed with death on the farthest shores,
But the world is not yet done
behold! the celestial bodies stick to their restless turns.
We are the souls, dare to challenge
The heavens' heights-
And trampled all the fears and fright,
Let’s stand and ride the rainbows,
And stretch your wings
Beyond heavens and hells,
And to roam in the skies.
And to seek salvation
-For those who`r condemned-
With our mighty swings.
Let’s wage a war of another Troy,
To destroy
The deities and the demigods,
And their pseudo reverence
That seduces our hearts,
Stand united my fellow brethren!
And pour out all
Your wrath, vengeance, insult and hate
And strain all your nerves,
Unsheathe and raise your swords, spears and bows
And march to the heavens` gates......
The eternity belong to us
The Armageddon is just begun.
Boldly written and wonderful. If a leader would rise the spirit of his troop, he should use this poem as an example. I really like that this poem could depict the scenery of the moment.
What a powerful Poem, brilliantly written. Raise………… O Forsaken and dejected but libertine souls! Tho`r beaten badly afore, And blessed with death on the farthest shores, But the world is not yet done behold! the celestial bodies stick to their restless turns I like the dark overtones of this Poem and the wording is very provocative.
Have never read Paradise Lost so I am unable to relate. Your poem is well crafted and inspired.
Epic. Beautiful narrative. At deities and demigods I stumbled. Second read. I'm hooked. Excellent job.
I don't know why but whenever I visit your page I feel more poetic. You poems always stick me to read but read in one go. So enchanting is always your rhythm. You always take themes that seem to be short but there is always an epic idea behind. I love your use of poetic devices and your diction always suits poetry. Brilliant once again.
While writing on the heels of the renowned poets, Mr Gulsher John is at his best and this very piece reminds me of a classic poem with a new touch.
It has great lyrical density, that is very akin to Milton, it shows similarity with the source material but it never seems like a rip off of it, you give Satan a commanding voice measured by vengeance and anger with being thrown from Gods Kingdom and his desire to levy destitution to Gods favoured creation. I admit Its been a very long time since I read Paradise Lost, but this is a good job that can be read on its own. Like Milton you make him a very enchanting antihero.
We are all the combined energy of he whom came before. Understanding what we do is what our minds are for....iip
